Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Fu Family
With that plan in mind, Duan Yixin replied calmly, “The water is mixed with some kind of nutrient made of processed animal manure and Zi Cao. As for the soil, I used soil from ordinary farmland and mixed it with perlite.”

Chi Xiyou nodded in understanding and said, “No wonder the strawberries and Chinese cabbages you planted are so big and full of water. It turns out that the answer lies in here. The water drips onto the soil, which never dries out, and there won’t be a problem of wasting water or lacking water.”

Duan Yixin nodded and said, “Elder Brother Xiyou, I will teach you how to make the nutrient solution, the mixed soil, and the mixed water.”

As soon as these words came out, Chi Xiyou’s eyes lit up. He nodded and said with determination, “I will study hard.”

While the two of them were busy in the woodshed, the nobles in the imperial capital city were also busy preparing for tonight’s imperial banquet. However, something different happened in Xie Guogong’s mansion. There are only a few hours left before the banquet starts, but the members of the Fu family are busy arguing at the moment.

In the main hall of her courtyard, Old Madam Xie was sitting on the main seat. Sitting on her left and right, the Fu family members were all arguing angrily. While she was calmly sipping her high-quality tea, the quarrels grew louder and louder.

Old Madam Xie frowned in displeasure, put down the teacup heavily, and asked, “Is your quarrel not over yet?”

As soon as she said this, everyone closed their mouths and lowered their heads. Seeing that they were finally shut up, Old Madam Xie said, “I asked you to prepare for tonight’s imperial banquet. Why are you quarreling instead?”

Seeing that no one was speaking, Old Madam Xie looked at her eldest brother’s eldest son and said, “Shuyuan, you tell me.”

Fu Shuyuan is a very fat middle-aged man. After a fight with his brothers, he was tired and breathing heavily. Hearing Old Madam Xie’s words, he wanted to stand up from his seat but found that he was stuck and couldn’t get up. It took him a few tries before he gave up. When the others saw this, they all sneered at him in disdain.

Not noticing the reactions of his younger brothers and their families, Fu Shuyuan looked at Old Madam Xie and explained, “Aunt, you know there are many people in my family. In order to avoid embarrassing my younger cousin, I want to buy new clothes for my wife and daughter. But who knew that Housekeeper Zhan would refuse to give me money?”

After hearing his explanation, Old Madam Xie asked, “Then you should talk to Housekeeper Zhan. Why are you quarreling with your younger brothers?”

Hearing her question, Old Madam Xie’s third elder brother’s son sneered and said, “Housekeeper Zhan refuses to give us money. Isn’t it because of my eldest brother’s habit of prostitution and gambling outside?”

As soon as he said this, Fu Shuyuan pointed at him and shouted angrily, “Fu Shuguan, I dare you to say it again!”

Fu Shuguan shrugged and asked, “Did I say something wrong? Everyone in this imperial capital city knows what you did outside. I even heard that you are going to bring a prostitute back and make her your seventh concubine. Does the eldest sister-in-law agree?”

Fu Shuyuan was so angry that his fat trembled when he said through gritted teeth, “Do you think I don’t know where you got the money to support those women outside?”

As soon as these words came out, Fu Shuguan’s wife glared at her husband. Sensing his wife’s displeasure, Fu Shuguan shuts up and hates Fu Shuyuan for spilling his secret in public.

Seeing this, Old Madam Xie rubbed her forehead tiredly. Although she didn’t say a word, she was neither stupid nor blind.

Old Madam Xie knew what her nephews and nieces had done since they lived in Xie Guogong’s mansion. Although she wanted to drive them out, she was afraid that they would make trouble outside and smear her reputation. She couldn’t give her son any reason to kick her out and send her back to the village.

Therefore, even though Old Madam Xie knew that they had stolen money from Xie Guogong’s mansion, she still gritted her teeth and endured their behavior. In any case, it was not her who was robbed, but her unfilial son. No matter what, she will not leave this glorious and wealthy life and go back to her hometown to live in poverty.

After a moment of silence, Old Madam Xie said to Gui Momo, “Gui Momo, go and invite Butler Zhan. Tell him I have something to talk to him about.”

Gui Momo slightly bent her knees and said with a lowered head, “Yes, Lao Tai Tai.”

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Gui Momo finally came back. Seeing that she was coming alone, Old Madam Xie asked, “Why did you come back alone? Where is Housekeeper Zhan?”

Aunt Gui hesitated to answer this question and could only look around while avoiding Old Madam Xie’s eyes. When she saw Gui Momo’s avoidance, Old Madam Xie was unhappy. She slammed the table and said angrily, “Why don’t you answer my question?!”

Gui Momo quickly knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said tremblingly, “Answering Lao Tai Tai. Housekeeper Zhan said… he said…”

“Speak! What did Zhan Wenmin say?!” Old Madam Xie asked again.

Gui Momo gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and answered Old Madam Xie’s question, “Housekeeper Zhan said that from now on, Xie Guogong’s mansion will not spend a single copper coin on the Fu family. He also ordered everyone with the surname Fu to leave the mansion in three days. Otherwise, if he drives everyone out, the ones who are embarrassed are those who got chased out.”

As soon as she said this, the main hall fell into silence. Gui Momo didn’t dare to look up, but her curiosity was greater than her fear. She raised her head and glanced at Old Madam Xie secretly.
